Oracle Assaults Red Hat With Pricing War - Forbes.com
Oracle Assaults Red Hat With Pricing War - Forbes.com: "Red Hat's handling of the JBoss deal was just one of several factors that irritated Oracle, Chowdhry said. He believes Red Hat made a crucial mistake by bragging that its Linux products would turn software into a commodity, prompting Ellison to attempt to counterattack.
Ellison said he is more interested in accelerating the open-source movement than crushing Red Hat.
Because much of Oracle's propriety software is designed to run on the Linux operating system, Ellison believes the company will make more money if more major corporate customers embrace open-source software."
